Aldi for Toys

Today was grocery shopping day. I picked up the items I can't get at Aldi at Neighborhood Market, then went on to Aldi for the rest.

I love to see what extras Aldi has. I've seen metal shelves, grills, inflatable mattresses, etc., but the store rarely has the same extras from shopping trip to shopping trip. Today, I saw a toy kitchen I think my daughter would love for $30. Walmart has one very similar that's $34. It's not a significant savings, but every little bit helps.

After I do my checkbook and see if I have anything left over, I might just run back to Aldi and pick up her first gift for this holiday season.

thredUP

Yesterday, I heard about a site called thredUP . Through this site, you can buy used clothes for your growing child from other parents, and sell the ones your child has outgrown. As quickly as our little girl goes through clothes at this stage, I think this sounds like a great idea. I'm constantly pulling clothes my daughter has outgrown out of her closet, and I feel like she's forever running out of clothes that fit her. I plan to look into it a little more, and I just might give it a try.

Frozen Dinner Thoughts

I've been trying to give some thought to what kinds of foods would make good homemade frozen dinners.  (My first post on the topic is here .) Tomorrow is grocery day, so I'd like to have an idea what kinds of things I can make to make sure I have all the ingredients. So far, I'm planning stew (per my husband's request) and a crustless cheeseburger quiche. Hopefully, I can think of another seven options between today and tomorrow.

TV Time

I'm still looking for a lighter TV , but I hope to buy one within the next couple of weeks. I don't like that so many that I see come with only a yearlong warranty. I don't trust that. Odds are -- based on the reviews of the ones I've seen -- the TV will outlast the warranty, but I just dislike the idea of shelling out $300 or $400 for something that the manufacturer has only a year's worth of confidence in. Based on what I've found in researching TVs, though, I'm probably not going to get a better warranty than that, so I'll likely just have to suck it up.
